Oh the joys…
I’ve lost my voice again, drat it, so I’ve had to ring in sick – it’s a little difficult to answer phones with no voice, I barely managed to call my employer! I’m lying here in bed reading stuff on the internets to keep my mind engaged. It won’t pay the bills but it is interesting.Continue reading “Oh the joys…”

Worst place to shop?
This is old news now but I wrote this last week and haven’t had a chance to get it online before now.
